ProudUte started the topic Jackson may not play this weekend. in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Below is from a KSL article about Utah’s running game. I did not know that he was nicked up in camp.

As for Jackson’s health, Whittingham said his running back was “nicked up” as something that had bothered him during fall camp “showed up again.”

“We planned on him being more involved, but he got slowed down by an injury, and hopefully he’s…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Some things I would like to see in Waco on Saturday in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

First and most important is a win.

I would like to see Yassmin and JJ get some more passes. These two guys are great in the open field.

I hope to see a much-improved running game.

See at least 2-4 injured players return to the lineup.

4-6 sacks.

I hope JJ can be more relaxed.

We need a pick-6 to continue our streek. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic How will the extreme heat affect the Utes? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Fortunately for Colorado, they had a cold front come in that kept the temp in the high 80s. I remember the announcers joking about an Arctic blast in Fort Worth.

ProudUte started the topic How will the extreme heat affect the Utes? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

There is a heat dome over Texas and the temperature will be over 100 on Saturday. I am not sure how humid it will be. We have had a bit of a cooler week, so we have not been practicing in the extreme heat. In fact, we have been practicing in the morning (cooler temps) so we can prep for the early game.

At the very least, I feel sorry for our…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Barnes finally gets scholarship in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Some on this board suggested that Barnes had already had a scholarship. According to thisarticle, Barnes was awarded a scholarship after the Florida game.

I assume he may have had some NIL money to help with school.

ProudUte replied to the topic Baylor play by play guy on ESPN700 in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

I know nothing about Waco, but I don’t want to be the fanbase that trashes our conference’s towns. It makes us look like we think we are better than them.

ProudUte replied to the topic Another hit to our fanbase’s reputation in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Very insensitive and stupid.

ProudUte replied to the topic Baylor play by play guy on ESPN700 in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Yes, but he was referring to the old Big 12 schools. It is true that the new Big 12 have a number of big city schools like the ones you mentioned.

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah 12th in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

We are 12th in the AP poll too. Colorado is 22nd.

ProudUte started the topic Baylor play by play guy on ESPN700 in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Baylor did not play well but Texas State is a good team.

The Oline was disjointed. The Oline has 4 new starters and is still learning.

The Dbacks played poorly. The defense was the biggest surprise to him. He thought they would play better on defense.

Robertson (new QB) looked good in the spring and he pushed the starter. He has had a lot…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah 12th in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

By the way, the PAC 12 now has 6 ranked teams with a 7th just barely out of the top 25. It appears in their last season the PAC12 may be the best conference from top to bottom. We will have to see how it all plays out but you know the conference will eat its own in conference play.

ProudUte started the topic Utah 12th in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

We jumped LSU and Clemson and no team jumped us.

Colorado ranked 25th. I am only surprised it wasn’t higher based off the hype.

I think we are ranked about right (if Rising and Kuithe can play by conference).

ProudUte started the topic Whitt's presser in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

This was from yesterday but ESPN700 did not play it until today because of the holiday.

Expects to see a better Baylor team this weekend. They have good coaches. Their offense looked good but had bad red-zone production.

We had a good win last week. The defense was the difference. We only had 4 missed tackles compared to 29 last year.

We…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic QB in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

As for me, I would not have switched QB from one series to another. But, Whitt and Lud must have had their reasons. I suspect that they wanted to get NJ some real game experience, which is a good thing for the future. What happened was more about the long-term and not just winning that game IMO.

If it was me, I would play Nate in specific…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic looking ahead to Weber State, what would you like to see? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

I agree. Play Cam to get rid of the rust. Then give the rest of the reps to Johnson. This should tell the coaching staff who the backup should be in conference play. Johnson needs the opportunity to run the entire playbook. He needs to get experience and confidence.

Go to KUTV.com. You will find it there.

ProudUte started the topic Talkin Utes in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

The weekly “Talkin Utes” show is back on Sunday nights. This show was established to help with NIL. So, please watch.

Last night they had Tao Johnson and Money Parks on. They both appear to be great guys. Money will graduate this semester in communications. Tao always played QB in HS. He came here to play WR and now is a starting Nickel…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Baylor Depth Chart in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Depth Chart

I don’t think this chart means anything. Everyone who was injured is now back in the two-deep. Do I believe it? No way. I guess Whitt is required to submit a depth chart. But, I don’t think it means anything. It didn’t last week and it looks the same to me.

ProudUte started the topic PAC12 football after week 1 in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

This is how I would rank the PAC 12 teams after week 1. I have excluded Utah.

Washington – They plastered a decent Boise team.
Oregon – Tough to tell against Portland State, but they did what they had to do and scored 80 points while doing it.
Oregon State – Dominated on both sides of the ball against San Jose
USC – I know there is a national…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Blake Shapen Out Against Utah in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Our defense seems to excel against QBs who lack experience. I expect Scalley to put a very aggressive package together for Baylor. But, they will focus on stopping the run first.
